BEWARE: Not All Home Improvement Projects Are Created Equal

Scared stressed - real estate horror story
BEWARE: Not All Home Improvement Projects Will Benefit You in the Sale of Your Forsyth County GA Real Estate
If you are currently updating your Forsyth County home for sale, BEWARE… In today’s market many of the tried-and-true upgrades are failing to boost your property’s market value as they have in the past.
We’ve all heard it said that kitchens and baths sell homes and, for the most part, that still holds true today.  However, in the past, quality updates to those rooms generally provided a very high rate of return on your investment but in today’s topsy-turvy Forsyth County real estate market, that rule is no longer a certainty.
If you are planning to upgrade your Forsyth County home in the near future, you might be interested in knowing which improvements may will allow you to recoup as much as 102% of your investment vs only a 60% return on investment.
In a recent article, Best Life listed what they feel are 25 of the worst home improvements for the money.  If you are planning a remodel you’ll certainly want to read the full article as it is a certainty that, in the current market climate, not all home improvement projects are created equal.
If you are planning to make significant modifications, with a plan to sell in the near future, feel free to give me a call.  I’d be happy to help you decide what the best choices might be to get you the most money in return.
I offer complimentary home evaluations and selling strategy consulting. 📲Text or call me to make an appointment today.
